That looks like a cool app, but it is not a new kind of calculator: see also Calca and Soulver for previous work in this space.<p>I think adding a grapher is a real advance, however.

I&#x27;ve always liked the idea of a more free form excel. Excel is great to dink around with estimations but it&#x27;s way overkill for the job. Something like this looks perfect for those &quot;back of the envelope&quot; calculations that are more in tune with how we really think.

Now this is an interesting app.<p>Anyone knows if there is something similar available for android?
